IB Scores for Top US Universities
Most of the top US colleges will even give you credits for your Diploma Program subjects if you score higher than a particular score.
Universités britanniques
While the IB is also highly regarded by UK universities, they don’t value it quite the same way.
US and UK Universities
Colleges in the US and UK have very different ideas of education. The US encourages diversity, experimentation, and breadth of study, and the UK encourages specialization and focus on a particular subject.
Universités britanniques
UK universities like to see that you’re involved in activities related to what you want to study. If you apply for an English degree, admissions officers will look for evidence of your knowledge in this subject area. You can still talk about activities outside the classroom, but they should be English-related.
US and UK Universities
Universities don’t release specified IB Diploma Program cut-off scores in the US. If you want to apply to the Ivy League and more selective colleges, you’ll need a healthy mix of sixes and sevens (no less than six) in your subjects for a shot at admission.
Université de Californie à Los Angeles (UCLA)
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), expects students to achieve a score of at least five in each HL subject. However, given the competitiveness of admissions (UCLA receives the most applications of any university in the US), most admitted students typically score 38+ points.
Conclusion
Ultimately, that’s what will make you stand out in the eyes of admissions officers.
